This weekend is one of the biggest weekends in La crosse. Sadly some people probably look forward to Oktoberfest more than Christmas or other important events. I've been in the Lacrosse area my whole life, and went to a few parades he and there, but it was nothing big to me. I recently moved to Lacrosse this summer with a few friends and I have a feeling that it just might be a different story this year....
I view Oktoberfest as one BIG beer fest, where college students from all around the state come home for this time of the year. I'm not really sure the real meaning behind Oktoberfest, something to do with celebrating the German hertiage? People dancing around to german music, eating kraut and drinking beer? One thing I do know is that there is a lot of intoxication involved.
Dare you disgrace our heritage? jk. I think it might also have something to do with celebrating the harvest.
